DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 1-3, a cloth structure 20 in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a bottom cloth layer 201, a biting layer 21 combined with the bottom cloth layer 201, and a color layer 22 combined with the biting layer 21.

A method for forming the cloth structure 20 comprises a first step, a second step and a third step.

The first step includes providing a tissue material polymer to form a substrate, and treating the substrate by a non-toxic fluorescent bleaching process to form a stereotype cloth which functions as the bottom cloth layer 201. The substrate has determined elasticity, density and light permeation. The tissue material polymer contains polyester fiber nylon and elastic yarn. The substrate obtains the maximum joules of UV light via the solar rays. The substrate is decontaminated at a high temperature. The substrate is refined in the non-toxic fluorescent bleaching process to remove its grease, dirt and impurities, and has an enhanced light-absorbing capacity by a non-toxic fluorescent compound in the non-toxic fluorescent bleaching process. A determined amount of dyeing auxiliary is added into a dyeing tank during the non-toxic fluorescent bleaching process. The stereotype cloth is anti-static, and has thermal insulation and sweating functions.

The second step includes a first substep of presetting pigments, a second substep of performing a first coloring procedure, and a third substep of performing a second coloring procedure.

The first substep includes presetting a main color pigment, providing a first fluorescent color paste having a first color pigment which has a color the same as that of the main color pigment and has a tincture value different from that of the main color pigment, and providing a second fluorescent color paste having a second color pigment which has a color the same as that of the main color pigment and has a tincture value different from that of the main color pigment. The first color pigment of the first fluorescent color paste has a color level smaller than that of the main color pigment and has a tincture value that is 20-30% of that of the main color pigment. The second color pigment of the second fluorescent color paste has a color level smaller than that of the main color pigment and has a tincture value that is 70-80% of that of the main color pigment.

The second substep includes applying and coating the first fluorescent color paste on the bottom cloth layer 201 at a temperature of 90-100° C., to deeply infiltrate the first fluorescent color paste into an upper fiber portion of the bottom cloth layer 201, and to form the biting layer 21 on the bottom cloth layer 201. The first fluorescent color paste is applied on the bottom cloth layer 201 by a two-axle roller in a single-face tension-free full-out layering coloring manner. The biting layer 21 functions as a first tension-free full-out coloring layer. The biting layer 21 is efficiently infiltrated into the upper fiber portion of the bottom cloth layer 201, to keep a color strength of the bottom cloth layer 201 so that the bottom cloth layer 201 is not decolorized, and to keep a function of anti-UV UPF/FPU, and the first fluorescent color paste has a partial conversion of wavelength performance reaching 50-60%.

The third substep includes applying and coating the second fluorescent color paste on the biting layer 21 at a temperature of 90-100° C., to form and coat the color layer 22 on a surface of the bottom cloth layer 201. The second fluorescent color paste is applied on the biting layer 21 by a two-axle roller in a single-face tension-free full-out layering coloring manner. The color layer 22 functions as a second tension-free full-out coloring layer. The biting layer 21 and the color layer 22 overlap each other, and dyeing molecules of the first fluorescent color paste and the second fluorescent color paste have multiplication effect. The color layer 22 is coated on the surface of the bottom cloth layer 201 to efficiently increase the absorbing speed of the surface of the bottom cloth layer 201 relative to the second fluorescent color paste, so that the surface of the bottom cloth layer 201 has a full color effect of the main color pigment, the biting layer 21 and the color layer 22 keep a function of anti-UV UPF/FPU on the bottom cloth layer 201, and the first fluorescent color paste and the second fluorescent color paste have a partial conversion of wavelength performance reaching 70-80%.

The third step includes drying the surface of the bottom cloth layer 201, and removing formaldehyde from the surface of the bottom cloth layer 201, to form a product of the cloth structure 20. The surface of the bottom cloth layer 201 is dried by a dryer in a tension-free and dust-free manner at a high temperature of 170-180° C., to prevent the elasticity and light permeation of the bottom cloth layer 201 from being decreased due to an excessive pulling force of the bottom cloth layer 201, and to prevent the formaldehyde, dust and impurities from remaining on the bottom cloth layer 201, to distribute the pigment color more evenly and to enhance the color fastness. The formaldehyde is removed from the surface of the bottom cloth layer 201 at a high temperature, to distribute the pigment color more evenly and to enhance the color fastness.

As shown in FIG. 4, the molecules of the non-toxic fluorescent compound convert harmful ultraviolet rays into beneficial visible rays, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple rays, to promote the blood circulation of the wearer. Thus, the molecules of the non-toxic fluorescent compound have a high light-absorbing capacity and absorb the solar energy of the solar rays (with a wavelength of 390-780 nm), to exactly regulate and convert the solar rays of various colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple, that are beneficial to the human body.

As shown in FIG. 5, the cloth structure 20A is available for a hat. Alternatively, the cloth structure 20A is available for a mask, a clothing or an umbrella. The cloth structure 20A is light permeable, can absorb light, and is resistant to washing.

Referring to FIGS. 6-8, a cloth structure 30 in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a bottom cloth layer 301, a biting layer 31 combined with the bottom cloth layer 301, a color layer 32 combined with the biting layer 31, and multiple germanium elements 35 fused in the biting layer 31 and the color layer 32. The first substep further includes providing the germanium elements 35 and fusing the germanium elements 35 into the first fluorescent color paste and the second fluorescent color paste. The procedure of providing the germanium elements 35 includes grinding a germanium rock (GAC) into micrometer powder (about 5 μm), sintering the micrometer powder at a high temperature of 1500-1800° C. to provide an ashing effect so as to remove residual impurities, and grinding the micrometer powder into nanometer powder which functions as the germanium elements 35. In such a manner, the germanium elements 35 are activated by the heat energy of a human body to conduct the heat energy, to absorb the visible light autonomously, to obtain the maximum joules of the visible light, and to have a partial conversion of wavelength performance, so as to contain the negative ion energy, to release far infrared rays, and to promote the blood circulation and to keep warmth.

Referring to FIG. 9, the cloth structure 30 further comprises a waterproof layer 33 worked and coated on the color layer 32. The waterproof layer 33 is made of Teflon.

Referring to FIG. 10, the cloth structure 30 is available for a sleevelet and further comprises a printing layer 34 printed on the color layer 32, and a waterproof layer 33 coated on the printing layer 34. Preferably, the printing layer 34 includes patterns, figures, stripes, characters or the like.

Accordingly, the biting layer 21 and the color layer 22 overlap each other, and the first fluorescent color paste and the second fluorescent color paste have multiplication effect, so that the colors of the cloth structure 30 will not lessen or fade during a long-term utilization, thereby enhancing the aesthetic quality and lifetime of the cloth structure 30.
